When hair is just wet it will not be cleaned as it isn't totally wet, when you apply shampoo, the shampoo molecule has a head and tail, the head has a negative charge and is hydrophillic which means it likes water but doesn't like oil and dirt, the tail is hydrophobic which means it likes dirt and oil but doesn't like water, the negative charge in the head flattens the surface tension of the water on the hair, and on using the effleulage massage makes a lather which is known as a emulsion. the head then drags the tail which has attached to the dirt and oil and when rinsed with water takes the dirt away leaving the hair clean. The cuticle scales open when wet and close when dry, that's why condition leaves the hair smooth looking as it closes the cuticle scales. I'm in college doing hairdressing and this is the assignment we are doing at the moment. ...Debbie
Shampoo and water act together in a process called emulsion to clean the hair. The shampoo has molecules that attract grease and dirt which get suspended in water that rinses it off. The process of washing hair with shampoo should be done three times repeatedly to effectively wash off all the dirt from the hair and scalp... gemma

Describe how shampoo and water act together to cleanse the hair?
Both of the detergent molecules contain 2 ends, one end attracts water (the hydrophilic molecule) and the other end attracts grease (the hydrophobic molecule). These detergent molecules life the grease off the surface of the hair and suspend it in the water, this action is called the emulsion. Dirt is held by grease so when the grease is lifted the dirt becomes loosened and can be rinsed away with water. This leaves the hair clean and shiny. Therefore it is very important to use a good shampoo that contains a good wetting agent making the hair more manageable and shiny when dry.

How do cats get clean?
most of the time you can just fill bath or sink with warm water and use cat shampoo and i mostly put some flea drops on mine after i clean and brushed them it helps a lot too... but if you don't want to do that you can by this special leave in conditioner and shampoo for cats and dogs but most stores don't sell it.. i hope this helped :) I have a cat, ( my username ) and I use no- water shampoo, cats do not like water, so it is not a hassle and smells great. Usually, I just leave it to him to clean himself with his tongue! No- water shampoo is available at pet stores and vet offices.
